DOC CEBU makes his second start off the David Jacobson claim. He was sharpened in a sprint last time and now stretches back out to a better distance. Needs some pace ahead. KATMANSTU fits on figures, if you go by his last two dirt starts. He exits a December 26 event where he finished well ahead of the top choice. MUSCLES MARINARA comes off his maiden win over this track. In that event he attended a decent pace for the class and finished determinedly. Might get first run on the top one.

GAMBLING GERALDINE was haltered 30 days ago by Eddie Kenneally. She gets a confident boost in class and drew the rail. That suggests Irad Ortiz will have to get her out quickly. YOUR MOVE made her first start for Dominic Galluscio at Parx Racing in November. The filly set a pressured pace and prevailed. She fell after the wire, resulting in a two month gap between the race and her next published work. YANKEEINDIXIELAND came off a five month layoff on January 4. In that event at the previous level she stalked a fast pace and finished gamely. Moves up and meets no killers.

RADIANT CUT came off a layoff January 4 and dropped into a never won two lifetime spot. In that event she did all the dirty work slugging it out on the lead. HEIRESSOFTHECROWN drops from a dual condition event which featured multiple winners. Her December 18 performance was good enough to win this race. Switches to Rajiv Maragh. MY DONNA JEAN has a less-then-sparkling record of 1 for 25. Nevertheless, she has been in the money in 8 of 10 fast track starts. Might get rain, however.

TASSINAIA has been a gem of inconsistency. However, she showed good speed last time and weakened late when beaten by a rival that would be odds-on here. Jose Ortiz sticks. YOU TAKE THE CAKE exits a January 19 event where speed on the inside forgot to stop. She closed well to be beaten just over a length. Hard to love with here 0 for 17 slate. LADY C NOTE cuts back to this distance for the first time. Her two best efforts were going long but this field is so bad she might pick up the pieces.

MISSED COUNT makes her first start off the Jimmy Riccio/Michelle Nevin claim. The filly showed versatility at Gulfstream and her best is good enough to surprise here. EYES OF MIDAS might be able to post the mild upset as well. She is coming off a pair of wins over this track and distance. Has more tactical speed than the probable heavy favorite. HOT RENDEZVOUS cuts back to the distance of her December 20 win over this track. The late-running filly was vet scratched January 20. She did work six days later.

AQUA REGIA added lasix for her second start and improved sharply. She had improved speed and finished well. Pedigree suggests the distance will be a major plus. LIFT is an intriguing entrant that might be a price. She raced evenly in her unveiling. Her stock dipped a little when race winner Ballylee faltered in a Saturday stake. SUN AND MOON stretches out for the first time. The Carlos Martin trainee looms the controlling speed with an inside post. Has enough pedigree for the mile distance. PRAISE BE has nice pedigree and top connections.

WISE GUIDE came off a freshening January 2 and posted his second career win, which came in restricted claiming company. Both his victories have come over this track. JESSES GIANT DUNK overcame a slow pace to break his maiden over this track last time out. The apparent slow figure was caused by the snooze-button fractions. This race sets up well. ALCOLITE broke his maiden over this track, but it came more than a year ago. The four-year-old has been consistent but has had many chances at this level. SATURDAY APPEAL is the speed of the speeds.

HOT STONES stretched out to two-turns for the first time in her January 4 win over this track. In that event she attended a brisk pace and powered away as much the best. MR HALL’S OPUS is better than her last effort suggests. She finished strongly to just miss over this track and at this level December 11. Has five on-the-board finishes in stakes races. TAHOE TIGRESS might have been the second choice if a fast track was assured. She has run alright on wet going but is much better when dry. She needs the speed to come back.

STARTRIPENTERPRISE debuts in a race where those that have run do not inspire. Sire Noonmark has 3 winners from 15 first-time starters. Trainer Mike Hushion can win with firsters. NATE AND D D debuts for Todd Pletcher, who is fair with maiden claiming firsters. This one has a capable sire and the dam was a winner. Doesn’t meet much. ROYAL POSSE drops into a maiden claimer for the first time. The Gary Contessa trainee ran into some that were much better than these, such as Uncle Sigh and Deceived. ESSENCE OF A HERO debuted versus slightly better. In that event he showed some speed stalking a brisk pace for the class.
